It was approaching night, and seven or eight officers with swords stood coldly in front of Zhuangzi. This scene made Si Hu, who was originally a little guilty, get up angrily.
"Brother Tiger, don't worry." Jiang Caiwei came over in a hurry and comforted her. Although she said this, her face was clearly very nervous.
"My lord, I am my boss, Xu Mu." Xu Mu smiled slightly. He knew without guessing that it must be another bitch who maliciously reported that he had an affair with those heroes.
"Look, sir, something bad happened today. I got a little closer and was stabbed." Xu Mu raised his arm, revealing the wound that was still bleeding.
"See, Mr. Xu is having a good rest." The seven or eight officials said in a depressed tone without any evidence. Seeing that Xu Mu was injured, after saying this, they didn't bother to deal with him anymore and left in the dark night.
Even from a distance, Xu Mu could still hear the sound of the shackles grinding together.
In Xu Mu's opinion, this knife that cut off the suspicion was the best gift given by the two heroes.
"Chen Sheng, leave someone on duty overnight. The rest will go back to the house to sleep. The order for a thousand jars will be busy in a few days."
Turning around, Xu Mu let out a long breath.
…
A few days later, the incident with Xia'er finally faded away a bit. Fortunately, the silly brother Si Hu was not affected at all. He still had ten steamed buns every meal, eating and drinking when he should. Yesterday, he ran out and deceived his neighbors.
Children's half bunch of candied haws.
As for the little assassin, he seemed to have disappeared from the world and had not made a move for a long time. But this feeling was very uncomfortable and made Xu Mu feel like there was a lump in his throat. He wished he could catch the assassin one day and hang him up and give him a beating first.
The corpses hanging at the gate of the city were taken back after being exposed to the sun for three days, hastily wrapped in mats, and buried in mass graves.
All of this seems to have nothing to do with Xu Mu, but seems to be closely connected.
"Master, is it time to collect the grain?" Chen Sheng washed the injured horse and turned around to speak.
"Of course I have to accept it."
The order for a thousand jars cannot be delayed any longer. With the rise of the wine market, it is estimated that the four major households will encounter another stumbling block.
Not to mention that you can't get it near Tangjiang City, you probably won't be able to get it if you go to Fengcheng. The last time Chen Sheng went to Zhuangzi in the countryside of Fengcheng and got back the grain at a higher price.
This time I go again and the granary is still empty.
"My boss, we can only go to Chengcheng. If you go past Chengcheng and go forward, you may receive food."
"How many days does it take to come and go?"
"Six or seven days."
There was still enough time on the 6th or 7th, and the delivery time agreed with the restaurant owners was at the beginning of next month.
"Chen Sheng, don't go this time."
"Ah? What's wrong with my boss?"
"Stay in the village and be careful."
Chen Sheng is a more stable man and would be better off staying at Zhuangzi.
"I listen to my boss." Chen Sheng nodded.
"Just stay in the village. Remember not to fall into other people's traps. If anyone has an idea, just say that General Zhao over at the border will come to visit Zhuangzi in a few days."
Zhao Qingyun, the border general, is the only official family member they know. Xu Mu wanted to spend money to find out about Zhao Qingyun two days ago, but he still held back. In any case, Zhao Qingyun should have
You have to go your own way.
I guess he also brought the pension for one hundred military achievements.
"Master, I must be careful."
Xu Mu smiled happily. It was not that he was overly cautious, but that the current situation was like this. The four major households were probably furious because they were trying to catch food from the tiger's mouth.
However, in the area near the inner city, the four major households did not dare to do such disastrous things as robbing villagers.
"Longbow, you also need to stay and heal your internal injuries as soon as possible."
Gong Gou sat in the corner, holding the medicinal soup prepared by Jiang Caiwei. He was silent for a long time before nodding.
In Dongfang, there are still gangsters like Hei Fu, openly and covertly, so it's probably not a big problem.
"Xu, Xu Lang, Xia Shuang has something to say."
As soon as Xu Mu finished giving his instructions, Jiang Caiwei and her maid Xia Shuang hurried over.
Xia Shuang blushed and hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.
"Xu Lang, Nujia and Xia Shuang want to go with us." In the end, it was Jiang Caiwei who spoke out.
"Follow...for what?"
"Xia Shuang wants to drop by Chengcheng to see her husband."
"Youwencai?"
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment before he remembered such a person.
"I bought some good melons earlier and dried some dried melons... He likes to eat this. Boss, I will go to the academy to meet him and come back after giving him the dried melons and clothes, so as not to delay his studies."
Xu Mu sighed in his heart.
He didn't think that only Juventus would study hard in the academy. Maybe he would spend time drinking and drinking in some Qingguan restaurant in Chengcheng.
"Really want to go?"
"My boss, I want to go."
"Then go, Caiwei, and you will go with us."
"Thank you Xu Lang!"
The two miserable women were extremely happy for a moment.
"Si Hu, go hitch the car."
…
Not long after, a speeding carriage rolled through the smoke and drove out from the east city gate under the early morning sunlight.
In order to prevent the little assassin's tricks, Xu Muxue got smarter this time and specially put wooden partitions on the carriage windows.
Unless the little assassin blocks the way and kills him, he will have a chance.
But along the way, they not only took Si Hu with them, but also Zhou Zun and two other young men, all of whom were riding strong horses, carrying long spears and iron bows, and faintly carrying Xiao Sha.
The wheels rolled across the flat official road very fast.
Far behind, Black Swallow on horseback swallowed two mouthfuls of smoke and looked a little aggrieved.
"After eighteen years of fame, I just want to kill a small boss. Why is it so difficult?"
"Do you recognize me? Muyunzhou Black Swallow!"
The official road is like a winding snake mark, extending between the green forest and the mountain.
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Mu sneezed for no reason, prompting Jiang Caiwei to hurriedly hand over a handkerchief.
"It's okay. I guess the thief is thinking about you."
After rubbing his nose, Xu Mu raised his head, looked at Xia Shuang in front of him, and thought it would be better to get a vaccination.
He doesn't expect that bitch from Juventus to have any "a bad wife, you can't abandon it" plot.
"Xia Shuang, if you go to Chengcheng this time, no matter what, you are from Xujiazhuang."
"What does this mean, Master?"
Xia Shuang raised her head in shock, and Jiang Caiwei beside her was also a little confused.
Xu Muchan laughed, "I heard that Chengcheng is prosperous, I'm afraid Brother You might be confused."
"My boss, my husband is not like that. He studies hard every day." Xia Shuang listened and looked nervous for a moment.
Studying hard day after day, holding that erotic manuscript.
"My husband said that he will have a chance this year. If he wins, he will go to the official office to serve as an official. He will be promoted to a big official in one year and to a government official in three years."
Xu Mu sighed, "Did he also say that the monthly official salary will be a lot."
"How does my boss know? My husband said I have thirty taels of silver per month."
Thirty taels?
An old official from Wangzhou had been a big official all his life, and his monthly salary was only eight coins.
What a big tongue.
"My boss, my husband will have a chance this year."
Xu Mu nodded with difficulty, knowing in his heart that the little maid Xia Shuang in front of him was probably unable to persuade him.
But Xia Shuang must take this journey.
Just like the little servant wife Jiang Caiwei, she took a hard-earned job and entered Wangzhou City alone. In these troubled times, meeting a good man is like finding a needle in a haystack.
